History
Developed by Aquila Flugzeugbau GmbH in Germany, the A 210 received EASA certification in the early 2000s and entered production as a fully-certified light aircraft. It found a market among flying schools and private owners seeking a capable modern tourer.
Variants
The A 211 is a development with a more powerful engine; the AT01 is a trainer variant developed for ab-initio training.
Where you'll see it
Operated by flying schools and private owners across Europe; a modest production run has seen it become a recognised if niche type on European registers.
